Accepted as an alternate spelling for what? The two words have very different meaning. Selvage means 'self edge' as you said. Salvage means to save something. 'save' with an 'a'. Many old sewing machines get salvaged.
Another bugaboo is border and boarder. I said, "Maybe those boarders could help you with your borders." Boarders are people who eat at your house and may take a room, too, as in 'room and board'.

I am a terrible speller, but I want to do it correctly, so my dictionary is always handy. The words are selvage: the fabric edge; and salvage: to save something. No "D". My dictionary does not have the d.

I had the same issue with the last baby quilt I made, luckily I don't pick just baby prints but prints that will grow with the child so I have enough fabric for at least two more baby quilts. At least it is my taste in fabric so I don't mind having some left but it was expensive to buy all at once.
